2010 A&O Photography

When I meet w/clients for the first time, I usually say to them "tell me a little about yourself". Wow, now I have to do that for you, tell you a little about myself that is. I could probably write a book, but I won't and I could probably talk for hours, but I won't.

There's so many things I love and adore and feel great emotion for. I'm one of those "B" type personalities that gets excited about everything. I enjoy spending time w/my clients and really making them feel comfortable about being in front of my camera. I hope to convey to my clients that they can be natural and laugh and smile and even sometimes cry with me.

My photographic style is very non-traditional. I'm all about capturing life as it happens. I thrive on emotional connection between people and absolutely love when my clients laugh and have fun during our time together.

My time with you as my client is not about me getting good "pictures". It's about you and loved ones sharing in moments together you will never forget. It's a time in your life and the precious memories that are created during your time with me.

I'm pretty sure this only gives you a slight glimpse into the person I am, but I am certain that I love what I do and the reasons I do it.
